[ re-sending, as I screwed up the CC, sorry to those will receive the duplicated ]
Note: I won't sponsor this package, as for a policy I don't sponsor NEW packages for people without a track of previous contributions.

Well, RFPs have no "owner". It's just somebody saying "pretty please could somebody package this and upload to the archive". > Ubuntu just released a new version of vc (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ > +source/vc/1.3.0-0ubuntu1). This could be reused by Debian. Yes. As the person who sponsored that upload to Ubuntu, I wouldn't have done so if the RFP (that I found) was a ITP, as uploading it to Ubuntu would have been a clear duplication of work. Also the RFS should be marked as a blocker of the ITP, but the automated tool doing that doesn't act on RFP packages (correctly…) > Aleksey, are you still working towards this RFS?

Well, I can tell you that the package in Ubuntu now is perfect to be uploaded as it is, in particular the package at mentors is worse in the following points: * Section of the binary should be libdevel, not libs * copyright is incomplete * missing watchfile * spurious .directory files from Dolphin (?!?) * the synopsis is very poor * dh compat 9 instead of 10 > Still I think the name "vc" and "vc-dev" should be acceptable.
